Resisting action,
without being in resistance.
Allowing the mind to be in service
to what most desires to unfold.
Not being hooked into anyone else’s business,
including that of the personal and shared ego.
What we most deeply focus on becomes manifest.
The juggernaut-minions of our societies,
showered with our worship,
continue on, due to momentum,
until we peaceably withdraw our support.
We believe ourselves to be so domesticated,
so beholding and enslaved to our consumptive habits,
so tightly gripping our possessions and our securities.
Is this what we really want to believe is Living?
Deep inside,
beneath the bruises and callous behaviors,
rests a spirit whispering to be awakened.
It is an indelible and undeniably pure state-of-being,
which, at the heart,
is unconditional compassion and love,
for all that has been loosed into this outer world.
We need not be fearful.
We need not suffer needlessly.
There is this long-standing invitation
to awaken
and fearlessly, fully participate
and live, even amidst those who are still fearful.
